The school of hard knocks

Because 12 years of school are mandatory in my country and if you don't go you break the law and get fucked.

Post doc at UBC.

City College of NY

Went to St. Edwards in Austin after bailing on SMU due to uncomfortably racist and sexist classmates (unironically, /pol/ pls go, etc). It was comfy, even if it wasn't as fulfilling academically.
Now I'm in venture capital which is more of a meme job than I expected. Basically I go drink beer at start-up pitch events, find the companies with patent-protected tech, do some market research, vet their leadership, then get drunk with those companies and my boss.
More or less get paid for 80% drinking and 20% actual analysis. Its nice. Half the time im in the office I'm reading with my door closed.

how the fuck the #1 creative writing school in the nation is more levelheaded than Georgia Tech right next door I'll never know

>>10107158

Too embarassing to say. Literally 100% acceptance rate.

If that's a dig at the shooting/riot a couple weeks back the freakout wasn't even us, it was locals who came to campus specifically looking for an excuse to smash shit.

>>10107433
we're literally the high-end private school for people who can't afford private school. Some of the best financial aid packages in the states but I don't think anyone compares Emory to ivy schools fuck georgetown
meanwhile you're a bunch of autistic nerds who can't even make good edgy social justice chalkings. At least when someone chalks up shit about "muh trans muslim immigrants fuck blumpf" over here they add some cute artwork and put effort into it. Step it up, man.

>>10107566
What did we ever do to you?

>>10107608
I guess that's probably an inside joke. Basically the administration used to brag all the time about how we were "a top 20 school" in US news rankings, and then this year georgetown took our spot. Now we're on par with UC-Berkeley.

>>10107217

>university faggots think they're worth anything
"Now, as soon as anyone from this non-institutional world produces effects within the institutional orbit, it is actually a really serious survival reflex for all institutionally privileged intellectuals to play the morality card (“no platform!”). If all these strange, outside autodidacts are actually smart and independently producing high-level intellectual content you don’t have the time to even understand, let alone defeat or otherwise control, this is an existential threat to your entire livelihood. Because all of your personal identity, your status, and your salary, is based directly on your credentialed, legitimated membership card giving your writings and pontifications an officially sanctioned power and authority. If that door is opened even a crack by non-credentialed outsiders, the whole jig is up for the respectable bourgeois monopoly on the official intellectual organs of society."

>>10107158
I went to Emory and took some creative writing classes.

>>10107433
you tech kids will forever be butthurt about your low female to male ratio

>>10107808
pretty comfy. ATL is fucking sprawling, we've got a forested park and manmade lake right next to campus. Weather is nice, neighborhood isn't too bad (unless you go into druid hills), cute little falafel-and-sushi joint a ten minute walk away. Traffic is awful but I can't afford a parking pass so I don't worry about it. Frats at Emory are a fucking joke, though, most people end up going over to GT to party or hang out on the weekend.
>>10108057
Who with? I'm taking some creative writing classes as well, thinking about getting a dual major in that or English.

you've produced. Seriously though, of course "muh Bill Gates" didn't need University, but that's hardly an argument for why you haven't bettered yourself now is it?

>>10108057
The ratio is shit but a significant proportion of those males are literally too autistic to provide any kind of competition so if you're a normal person it mostly evens out. I've never had trouble with it, anyway. They also must've started pulling some weird shit because our current freshman class is like 45% female.
>>10108072
>Frats at Emory are a fucking joke, though, most people end up going over to GT to party or hang out on the weekend.
Last year I found a group of about a dozen scared freshmen in matching Emory tshirts that had just ubered over to Tech after their party got broken up. I was sloshed so I went up, asked why they looked lost, told them to follow me, and led them on a drunken parade through campus to various parties. It was a good night.

>>10108135
It's okay I guess. I enjoy it well enough.

>>10108092
The quote was specifically about Nick Land and other far-right theorists who were no-platformed, but it holds generally. The very fact of "no-platforming" is an indication of a general decline in academic authority, and therefore academia. I don't think this is a good thing. In fact, I would agree with you that most "autodidacts" don't produce very much of worth. As the university declines, so will thought generally. The point is that it is declining. If "high-level intellectual content" will be produced, it will not come from academic institutions

>>10107903
What a tired argument
Yeah if you're a hypermotivated genius and cocoon yourself for years you could probably read the same amount and write some comparable stuff, but (You) aren't and won't. Any stem field outside of meme trash like CS will be impossible to do without the structure and constant challenge of courses taught by professor.
If you don't go to college, that's fine, not everybody needs to, but people who sit there and say they could totally do anything those egghead academic elitists could do is retarded.

I know there's at least 4 bing students on /lit/ if you guys want to meet up

>>10108145
>it will not come from academic institutions
That doesn't make much sense. If the institutions are the last bastion of thought than even if they decline towards some kind of asymptotic low (just to illustrate) they are in a better position to foster content than the also declining periphery, no?

>>10108423
The Great Books program at the St. John's University in Queens consists mostly of Mario Puzo and the book the Mike and the Mad Dog 30-for-30 was based on.

A CC in Oregon. Plan on transferring to Oregon State next year.

Anyone else here living the meme?

>>10107565
Good internships, and St. Edward's isn't completely no name. It has a good reputation in Texas. I'm not on Wall Street or San Francisco, I'm based in Houston working for a small fund.
I do know a few people from St. Ed's that have "made it" into high finance/big 4 consulting gigs. It's an up-and-coming school. I don't envy them, though. I do fine where I am, and get to do more interesting work with less hours. I just don't get to swing my dick around with a name everybody knows. That's fine with me.

>that confirmed /lit/fag who's legitimately autistic and spouts lit memes during lecture
I'm never talking to him in a million years

>>10108681
God that would piss me off
As a stemfag I just have to deal with those people who unironically spout reddit catchphrases and rick and morty jokes and I already want to murder them

I swear every single time someone makes this thread some moron mistakes the shitty Catholic school in Queens for the less-shitty autistic school in Annapolis.

nah just mucho dinero or affirmative action

doctorate in math at a middle tier state school but these days I just want to read lit all day and math is preventing that

I never attended college. I dropped out of highschool and immediately went into the workforce. I now work as a maintenance man. The job allows me to read a lot.

Undergrad at a good ol' public liberal arts school, eventually gonna hit up a larger university for a masters.

Go bobcats.

I work at a grocery store and I'm somewhat of a brainlet just now getting into reading on a normal basis.
I don't see the point in going to college. I think I'd be happier taking up a trade, reading books, writing, and making crafts.
I won't be a rich man for awhile. But if I die and I'm rich enough to have my skull plated in gold and gifted to my oldest son, then thats all that matters.

>>10108839
this is still a bad meme. and besides, i'm a graduate student

Has to be the former, else University AND College would be in the school name, senpai. That said, was so close to going to BC, even visited twice (really liked the campus and Chestnut Hill) but wound up going to school in Virginia, instead.
